This default description comes from wikipedia
Trgu Secuiesc (Romanian pronunciation: [tru sekujesk]; Hungarian: Kzdivsrhely, Hungarian pronunciation: [kezdivaarhj] ; German: Szekler Neumarkt; Latin: Neoforum Siculorum) is a city in Covasna County, Transylvania, Romania. It administers one village, Lunga (Nyujtd).== History ==The town was first mentioned in 1407 as Torjawasara, meaning in Hungarian Torja Market. (Torja is the name of a stream nearby and is also the Hungarian name of the nearby village Turia.) Originally, the Hungarian name Kzdivsrhely was also used in Romanian in the form Chezdi-Oorheiu, but this was altered to Trgu Secuiesc (now spelled Trgu Secuiesc) after the accession to Romania in 1920 under the Treaty of Trianon. The Hungarian native name means Kzdi Market, Kzdi being the name of a Szkely seat, a historical administrative unit. Its status as a market town dates back to the Middle Ages. The city was taken over by Hungary during World War II, following the Second Vienna Award of August, 1940. A small Jewish community was set up in the 1880s; it numbered 66 in 1920. In May 1944, the Hungarian authorities sent its members to the Sfntu Gheorghe ghetto, and deported them to the Auschwitz concentration camp the following month. Sovereignty was restored to Romania following the war.
